Quote of the Day (Tocqueville, on Associations)
“In democratic countries the science of association is the mother science; the progress of all the others depends on the progress of that one.”—Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Volume Two, Part Two, Chapter 5, translated and edited by Harvey C. Mansfield and Delba Winthrop
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
